remains In full possession Of the field, for the
Peoples and The Chicago. both having special
charters granted by the Legislature, are .wned
by the Trust and are capable Of supplying any
deficiency created by the withdrawal of the other
companies This confidence can hardly be jusu
fled, however. Only short time ago the Supreme
Court Of Illinois decided regarding these very
companies that 1t was both against public policy
and beyond the power Of these concerns that they
should enter into any arrangement tending to
create monopoly. They have entered into an
arrangement whereby monopoly is created, so
In proper proceeding the courts may declare
forfeit the violated charters of the older CON-
panies and the would-bc gas monopOlists will
find themselves fiat on their backs. In addition
to these troubles it is regarded certain
that the authorities will take action for the cs-
tablshment of an electric light system for the
city very soon.
